Sharif Silmi

I am very pleased to attest to the professionalism and knowledge of Mr. Sharif and his team – especially those focused on non-vanilla cases such as EB1A and NIW. His office provided me with much-needed advice and guidance to prepare my application and stepped up to expedite when an unforeseen circums...tance developed. His peculiar style of understanding the uniqueness and how to present a compelling case is awesome, and that is what I (now) believe differentiates a case from approval or denial. Overall, I had a very good experience working with Mr. Sharif and am thankful for his advice and innovative thinking to make my application successful.

I had the wonderful pleasure to work with Attorney Sharif and his team for my EB1A I-140 approval. I can certainly say that Attorney Sharif is truly unique in his approach and doesn't use the cookie-cutter approach like others. From the initial road map meetings to reviewing the final draft, Attorney... Sharif and his team have been very thorough and methodological in their approach. Attorney Sharif always pushes to get the best possible outcome. I have already recommended him to my friends and will certainly recommend him to anyone who is looking to file under EB1A. Believe me, it is life-changing. Thank you Attorney Sharif, Marylaine Viernes, Mayerline Rodriguez and Gabriela Del Carmen.

Got my green card yesterday, from F1 to Permanent Resident, all thanks to Attorney Sharif and the team!  Almost 3 years ago I’ve been reaching out to several law firms to help me with my papers since my company couldn’t sponsor an H1B. All of them were giving me typical advice (move back to your h...ome country, change your profession to healthcare, etc.) which I know is not the right solution.  With almost a year left with my STEM OPT (EAD), I’m in a panic looking for a solution for my situation. Then upon doing some research, I found something about EB2-NIW. Thought that this may be a good route for my case. That is when I saw Silmi Law on Google. Then, I had my first zoom meeting with Attorney Sharif, I was expecting the worst, maybe this will be “another” phone call with a lawyer and that I am not qualified for the NIW. But I was wrong! Attorney immediately said he can help me with my case and gave me right away all the documents/evidence that I need to gather for the application. I have peace of mind knowing that I finally got the right and trustworthy lawyer. Atty. Sharif is knowledgeable, experienced, and treats each case uniquely.  The process was long - from gathering all my credentials/certificates, and creating a business plan, to getting good recommendation letters. I admit, I got frustrated and was losing hope because it took us a year for this process. But we finished everything - medical, filled in the forms, and submitted my application in April 2022. After 5 months I got my new EAD and the approval of my NIW application. Now, Feb 2023, only 10 months after our submission, my Application for Permanent Residence/ AOS got approved without RFE.  Forever grateful to Silmi Law Team. I 101% recommend!
